The ERCC makes use of satellites under the @CopernicusEU programme to forecast and monitor disaster events, and to assess their impact once they have hit an area.

What is the role of #CEMS in @eu_echo early warning systems? A thread
https://ec.europa.eu/echo/what/civil-protection/early-warning-information-systems_en

All #CEMS components provide early warning for disasters that inform and can prompt action from the EU Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid @DG_ECHO.

#EFAS and #GloFAS are the European & Global Flood Awareness Systems. They give warnings on #floods up to 10 days in advance.

#EFFIS, the European Forest Fire Information Systems forecast fire dangers up to 10 days and near-real-time information on active fires and burnt areas.

They allow informed decisions on the deployment of the #rescEU firefighting capacity.

#EDO and #GDO, the European and Global Drought Observatories, give information on #droughts risks in Europe/worldwide including meteorological indicators, soil moisture anomalies, vegetation stress and river low flows.

#CEMS contributes to early analysis and early actions.
